~" A letter from New York states that
the ''green goods" swindlers are more nu-
merous and audacious this year than they
ever were before. They are sending their
circulars all over the country to people whom
they imagine are "green" enough to bite at
such bait. The reader should understand
that "green goods" means counterfeit
"greenback" paper money, and that any
person who is caught dealing in such stuff is
sure of ahome in the penitentiary, if detect
ed.

cB The supplementary elections in Rhode
Island leave the Democratic majority in the
Legislature assured. AS the political com
plexion of the body which meets at Newport
in May now stands, the Democrats will have
a majority of eight in joint convention, as
suming that members elected as Prohibi-
tionists will vote with the Republicans. 1t is
even not impossible that the Republican
majority of six in the Senate may prove in
sufficient to obstruct certain measures of re-
form which require concurrent action of the
two houses.

is $1SS,OOO.
A Commercial reporter met Mr.. Scott yes
terday and inquired to what use the property
would be put.
"Oh, we'll sell part of it and give the rest
away"
"How's that?"
"Well, when any big mandatory wants to
come we will give them the land. A shop will
be erected very soon for drop forging, and 200

rB- The natural gas fever is striking all
over the country. Discoveries Of gas in
localities heretofore believed to be destitute
of that commodity has had the effect of ad-
ding fuel to the flame, and still excitement
continues and extends into new and broader
fields.
Every attempt made here to bring natural
gas to the surface should be encouraged and
receive all the assistance and support neces-
sary to carry the project into effect. -

~ Once upon time, years ago, before
the Republican party came into power, there
were over 1900 ship yards in operation in the
country employing over 10000 workmen di-
rectly and probably as many more indirectly
in producing lumber, copper, cordage, etc.,
used in fitting out our American ships. From
whatever cause it may have come all this has
been changed of late. 1t remains for Dem
ocratic administration to again restore
American ship yards and the example of

Atlanta Constitution, which makes an au-
thorized announcement, will visit the Pied
mont exposition TO be held in Atlanta early

bracing east Tennessee, the western Caro-

A Fish Story From tho West.

GALENA, H., August 26.-Within the
past two or three days the fish in many
of the streams in this section have died by
the million, and the few that are left are
rapidly following suit. The banks of the
Galena river branches are lined with dead
fish of all sizes and varieties, from the
tiny minnow to the mammoth cat and
sturgeon. At Lancaster, Wis, the scene
on the river bank beggars description,
upwards of fifty wsgon-loads of dead fish
being il sight There are numerous theo.
ries afioat as to the cause. One is that
the recent rains have filed the water with
mud, so that the fish have been unable to
breathe, and struggling to the surface for
air, have died. AnGther is that during
the dry, hot summer the valleys and
